Todd
Greene,
Founder
The year was 1997. Todd Greene had been
sporting a shaved pate for five years. Unfortunately shaving was not a
'good' experience. In truth, it was an inconvenience. But, through
thick and thin, he was committed to the shaved look..
He tried clippers. He tried electrics. He even tried
depilatories. After settling for a conventional razor, Todd realized the
handle was his nemesis.
The blades were good but the handles were unfit for the job. If
there was a way for the hand to become the 'handle' Todd figured he may
have, indeed, the ultimate head shaving razor.
After two years of constant testing and development Todd brought
his invention to the market and christened it "The HeadBlade."
Since that day, thousands of HeadBlade users have never looked
back because, with the HeadBlade, they don't need to.

Unlike a conventional razor, the HeadBlade makes your hand (and
fingers) the handle. This gives you more control. When your fingers can
touch your scalp you have a much better understanding or "feel" of what
you're doing.
The patented suspension of the HeadBlade gives you even more
control; you don't have to worry about the angle of the blade. Think of a
conventional handled razor. It's like a unicycle and only touches your
head at one point (where the blade is). This is very difficult to control
(both the angle and pressure of the blade). Especially if your fingers
aren't in contact with your scalp. The HeadBlade, in contrast, has a
suspension and touches your head in two places; like a bicycle.

HeadBlade® is designed to use either Schick® Ultrex® or
Gillette® Atra® pivoting twin blades. The blade is mounted in such a way
that you push rather than pull the razor over your scalp. It may take some
getting use to since you lead with the blade. Simply slip your middle
finger through the loop (up to around the second knuckle) making sure the
HeadBlade® is nested palm-side. Rest the HeadBlade® on your scalp (make sure
the back 'pad' is always in contact with your scalp). Now take a long smooth
stroke using NO pressure - the razor should glide over the scalp. |

Additional Information
Q: Why is the blade in the front of the
HeadBlade® and why do I push instead of pull it? Should I apply pressure?
A: After extensive development it was
found that the automatically pivoting blade of the HeadBlade® had to be in
front. Pulling the blade across your head creates lateral movement of the blade
which results in nicks and cuts. Pushing the blade eliminates lateral movement.
And no, you don't need to press down on the razor (no press down big boy). The
only pressure you need to put is on back pad to make sure it stays in contact
with your scalp.
Q: My fingers go up and down in size
(mostly in girth) depending on the weather. Is the HeadBlade® adjustable?
A: Yes. The HeadBlade® is made out of
a high quality plastic (it contains a lot of rubber) and the ring can be
adjusted to just about any finger size. To adjust your HeadBlade® warm the ring
with a hair dryer (not your own of course) and then gently manipulate the ring
to the appropriate size.
Q: How long will it take to rid myself
of the bad habits accumulated over years of shaving with a conventional razor to
fully appreciate this new method?
A: The HeadBlade® fits right inside the
palm of your hand and you may get the hang of it right off. But be patient, it
may take you three to five shaves before you become fully comfortable with the
HeadBlade® and its revolutionary method (if you didn't pass 4th grade you may
experience a longer learning curve). Once you do get the feel of the HeadBlade®
you'll see your shaving time cut dramatically. And you'll get a better shave.
The HeadBlade® should last a
year with regular use. However, after eight to nine months you should consider
purchasing a new
one.
